The equation is P1V1=P2V2. (P1 is pressure before the change, P2 is the pressure after, V1 is the volume before the change, and V2 is the volume after it.) So to solve it, it would be the same change no matter how much the volume and pressure were to begin with. The values are P1= 1 atmosphere (the pressure of air at sea level) V1= 1 Liter which would mean P2=3 atmospheres 1*1=3(V2) 1/3 Liter= V2. So the volume would be one third of what it was before the pressure was tripled.
